Introduce two tests for NR RLC AM entity:
- test_nr_rlc_am_entity
- benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity
The benchmark can be used to verify processing time improvements for NR RLC AM
entity. The benchmark creates two entities and creates an unbalanced
communication channel between them with 10% loss packet loss and 100:1 PDU sent
ratio. This allows the lists in RLC to build up and triggers RLC AM code
related to looking through the segment/pdu lists.

This hotfix removes division by num_antenna_ports in PDSCH precoding matrix generation.
These matrices are defined for CSI reporting in this way but here we are using them for
transmission and this results in an unwanted 10*log10(num_antenna_ports) reduction in
transmit power (3dB for 2 antenna ports, 6dB for 4 antenna ports, etc.)
3GPP 38.331: If absent, the UE applies the SCS as derived from the prach-ConfigurationIndex in RACH-ConfigGeneric (see tables Table 6.3.3.1-1, Table 6.3.3.1-2, Table 6.3.3.2-2 and Table 6.3.3.2-3, TS 38.211 [16]).
This procedure for msg1_SubcarrierSpacing NULL is not implemented, so we aplly the same value of UL SCS.
Resolve error:
nfapi/oai_integration/aerial/fapi_nvIPC.h:56:16: error: unknown type name ‘nvipc_params_t’
56 | int nvIPC_Init(nvipc_params_t nvipc_params_s);
By including the header. Also, move the definiton of the struct to the
MAC, where it is actually stored, and out of the radio common_lib.h,
since this is not a radio (split 7/8) parameter.
These functions look up the numerology, and code can be harmonized:
- ssb_index_from_prach()
- find_SSB_and_RO_available()
- schedule_nr_prach()
The next commits also need to look up the numerology from the
UplinkConfigCommon. This provides the common implementation to be used
in follow-up commits.
the code creates a sink to read all traced packets and drop it. but
this works only if we send to a local address and if there is not
another sink (like if we trace both UE and gNB in the same machine).
this sink's purpose is only to prevent to get automatic packets back
from the kernel saying "no listener". So, instead of killing the trace
when we can't create the sink (as done previously), we now just let the
trace in operation.
It can happen that L1 gives us a TB that we interpret as receiving UL
MAC TB with LCID "UL_SCH_LCID_CCCH1". This might or might not be
correct, but currently, we observe segfaults when trying to encode the
cellgroup in send_initial_ul_rrc_message() (encode_cellGroupConfig()).
This fix prevents a segfault by not delivering a MAC SDU to RLC if CCCH
is already present. Note that in some cases, this could still happen,
e.g. Resume Request. However, we don't support this message, so ignore
it for the moment.
This fix enables a gNB to operate continuously for extended periods
(days), which is essential for real deployment scenarios.
Closes: #756
